Did the album meet your expectations?
Basically what I expected. I find his music pretty average and boring. He never shows a lot of range and the songs tend to sound pretty similar. Good album to chill and smoke to.

Did the album meet your expectations?

Yes, and exceeded it in some areas. Wish we could have this Kanye back. One of my favorite albums from him, probably what I would consider his masterpiece over MBDTF.

Rate the album's production (1-10)

9-10/10 Absolutely terrific production, takes that signature Kanye sound to the highest level to me.

Rate the lyrical performance by Kanye (1-10)

8-8.5/10 I would say this was an improvement from College Dropout, still some clunky tracks but much smoother and crisper.

Rate the microphone/vocal performance (Flow, Delivery Mic Presence, etc.) (1-10)

9/10 Kanye always has a presence that he brings to me regardless of its a good or bad song.

Who was your favorite guest on the album?

Lupe Fiasco, Lupe's first turn on the big stage and he brings it with a tremendous verse.

Favorite Track?

Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix) Probably one of the most lyrical tracks on the album, Jay and Ye's best collaboration ever. .

Favorite Beat?

Touch The Sky, Those horns

The Ecastatic was gr8 phaggot, lol. Also Supermagic has the best beat on the album, but history is the best song on the album. Well that & Auditorium

[classthe_king]

slick rick was lowkey awful

[dead prez]

lmao crashband thought he ethered mos def in that song, I always thought mos def wrecked that beat tho. Awesome kweli verse in history but my favorite part of the song has to be the last few bars by mos def.

[classthe_king]

Kweli's verse was awesome and really stood out as most of the album didn't have much consistent rapping. It's a rly great song tho. I liked the album lol

I pulled a lot of these numbers out of my ass & made them up on the spot,this album was just too hard to rate. I'd honestly have an easier time (much easier) doing track by track ratings for donuts, this is just too weird and out there. I do feel I was bein a bit generous and this should be more like a rly high 8, this is honestly an album that I think could be anywhere from a 4 to a 5.

(note: I do still think Game Theory is better and I was bein rly conservative with the ratings for that album)

8.5 (technically he could be as high as a 10 since he sings, raps, does spoken word and blends all so seamlessly that I can't even tell at times which he's doin) plus his voice is probably the most distinct in rap
